498a case in delhi high court

Trial court has framed the charges on husband and inlaws. My cross examine has not started in trial court as of now. Husband & inlaws have filed for quashing in Delhi high court. Notice has been issued to me for my appearance. Hearing date is in December. As I appear in front of the judge for the first time so can I request the judge to let me submit my reply and engage a lawyer who can argue the case on merits ? Do i have a right of submitting my reply in high court  under 498a case ?

You, certainly, can engage an advocate to represent your case and a reply could be filed through the counsel.

The High Courts allow such petitions only on exceptional circumstances where the allegations as to the alleged offences taken as a whole and accpted at their entirety does not establish the ingredients of the  offence, as alleged

You would have been impleaded as second respondent and a notice would have been served on you.

Hence you can appear before high court either as a party in person or through an advocate and record your objections.
